This paper covers key solutions that the Tanner design flow provides to make multi-domain systems successful.
Sensor-based designs, such as IoT systems, combine many design domains implemented on CMOS. These systems can be implemented on multiple dies and could employ multiple packages. To accommodate multiple sensor types, a traditional CMOS IC flow must be extended to include MEMS and photonics elements along with analog and digital elements. If the system communicates with the Cloud, an RF element is also necessary.
The flyback topology is a versatile, widely used, switched-mode power-supply design with some interesting characteristics that brings performance and BOM advantages to many applications...
Stricter guidelines imposed by version 3 of the IEC standard for harmonic current emissions push designers to embrace power-factor-correction methodologies.
In order to properly evaluate, certify, and optimize the power infrastructure of devices, programmable power supplies and loads are vital tools in testing products, from low-power...
